New Delhi: A law-maker from the Labour party claims that he has seen documents that suggest Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s administration helped Indira Gandhi plan the storming of the Golden Temple in 1984, in which security forces entered the holy site to flush out militants.

He said the government appears to have “held back” some documents and must disclose more information. “This trying to hide what we did…not coming clean…would be a very great error,” he said. (See full report on BBC)
